CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

On Friday, Amazon begins streaming the acclaimed series about one of Britain’s most infamous gay scandals.

From the Hollywood Reporter:



There is an eccentric bit of electricity that runs through A Very English Scandal, one of the tightest and brightest and most sublime miniseries — running at a meager three hours, one hour per episode — that you’re likely to see on television in 2018. It has, for starters, four people exercising their considerable talents in an almost effortless way: director Stephen Frears (The Queen, etc.), screenwriter Russell. T. Davies (Doctor Who, Queer as Folk) and actors Hugh Grant (About A Boy) and Ben Whishaw (London Spy). And it’s all based on a true story almost too weird, funny and heartbreaking to be real, complete with a bizarre twist that popped up just this month after it aired in England.
